    Chiefs fans gifted a #1 seed and you guys are not in too bad a shape.  I'll be in our trailer park, poverty franchise with my Bengals gear on wait to coin flip home field as the division winner...... we will never get any respect no matter how many games we win.    If we dont make it please destroy KC.

     

    Not just yet Caesar - let's see what the Raiders can do.

    So if KC and the Bills both win, we are the #2 seed and get the #7 seed on Wild Card weekend ( either the Pats / Steelers / Fins / Jags ).

     

    KC gets a bye.

     

    Win that one and we're home for the Divisional round ( maybe the Bengals )

     

    If KC and the Bills win the Divisonal round, neutral site for the AFCCG ( Indy ? )

     

    I'm good with this ...

    I don't understand this. I mean I understand the emotional trauma, but are they going to refuse if we have to go back there for the playoffs too?

     

    If they are traumatized to the point they cannot face Paycor Stadium, then they should be discussing options to take the rest of the year off and get right mentally before playing again.

     

    I would think by the time the Bills might return to Paycor for a playoff game, we'd have a good picture of where Damar stands, Until then, no.

    Not saying this would happen but what if the #1 seed in the AFC was determined by taking the best 16 games from each team ( can't throw out head to head ), apply the normal tie-break rules including HTH, conference recs and SOS. So all of the Bills & Bengals games would could and KC would lose their worst game (x/c HTH).

     

    There is no guarantee that the Bills will be in the right mindset come this Sunday and this would eliminate totally the impact of the Bills-Bengals game. 

     

    Certainly, I am not thinking clearly here ...

    There are no good options, but some options are obviously worse than others.

     

    From the Bills' standpoint, the worst "regular" outcome of Monday's night's game was a loss.  That should be the floor on what the league does going forward.  Buffalo should not have to accept a "solution" that's worse than just taking the loss and moving on.  Playing an extra game while everyone else gets the week off is crazy.  The Bills should not agree to that, and the league should not propose it. 

     

    Thanks for your opinion. There are plenty of folks who disagree with you and proposed alternate scheduling so the Bills-Bengals "regular" game can be made up.

    So what?  That was a very possible outcome anyway.  This thing about giving everybody bye weeks except for Buffalo and Cincinnati was never going happen under any other circumstance and feels like something that you're devising for the express purpose of making life as difficult as possible for these two franchises.  Why single them out like that?

     

    Not singling out anyone - there is no good option. There is also no time to fit in another Bills/Bengals game if wild-card weekend is not moved. Like everyone else here, just throwing out options.

    It's a big deal because you're punishing the two teams that were directly adversely affected by the injury.  That's the opposite of what we should be looking to do.

     

    If you make the game a tie, the Chiefs would likely have the #1 seed and the Bills/Bengals would be playing wild-card weekend. One could also look on that as punishment by preventing either team from a chance at the #1 seed.

    And what in the league’s history tells you they would actually do it?

     

    Nothing as you already know, but once again this is an unprecedented situation. Frankly, I don't care if the 5 teams get an extra week even if they do practice.

    As someone who has said the only way through this is to take the game off the schedule and award seeding based on win percentage, I'm intrigued by this format:

    The idea is certainly outside the box but also 100% logical.

     

    Except for the simple fact the Bills have yet to practice this week ...

    Would this be like how Tennessee “didn’t practice” during the week before the COVID game when they whomped us?

     

    or like how every high school or college team “doesn’t practice” during the off-season?

     

    No way to enforce this, unfortunately. 

     

    Sure there is - the NFL tells the 5 teams if they're caught at their facility or practicing elsewhere the 1st week, they forfeit the playoff game.
